Is it a good idea to use those packs for fanless PSU's?
Like the Phantom/Silverstone etc.

If you take the higher-airflow-preferring Ultra-120 eXtreme out of the league, the Ninja is the best heatsink out there..low airflow or not. And the push-pins are maybe not the best idea (screw that Intel-idea), but using the same bracket, with the push-pins ripped off, you can bolt-through perfectl...

The new Radeon HD2400 and HD 2600 both have got the UVD-tech.
They are maybe even smarter choise over the GeForce 8600, if you don't game, that is.

I dunno about nVidia's 8400-series encoding capabilities..

@jojo4u

Idle: Seasonic S12-380 74 W, Silverstone ST40EF 72 W, Fortron Zen 400 W 66 W.
Load: Seasonic S12-380 108 W, Silverstone ST40EF 114 W, Fortron Zen 400 W 120 W.

Doesn't really look like it's more efficient @ load
- thought PC's are in idle 99% of their time

Just chose a 1200 rpm fan or an undervolted @7v 1600. That's basically your answer to the question.. But you need to be aware that the cooling power of the 120-Extreme is pretty much overkill for any CPU at almost any fanspeed . I think you could get a pretty quiet setup with whatever CPU almost dep...

It is indeed a repost a few days after, next time try to improve your reaction-time, which actually means you neeed to GAME MORE!

Ever heard of dots after each sentence? Your grammar placed dots only after alinea's

LOL

Maybe you'll also reconsider the SilenX -HD-box.

SilenX hasn't really got a good reputation here, and probably the best HD-box is the Scythe Quiet Drive.

I've seen that it's possible [Madshrimps.be] to cool a 8800GTS with a HR-03 passive using little airflow in a case....though, what's their view on little airflow.. Furthermore, experimenting can consume a lot of time on the P180/182. It's possible, depending on your motherboard, that ducts are obsol...

I agree with the balls and nuts

@ ManC

The NV-series @12v are pretty loud. I've had one myself.

You could undervolt them via fanmate or similar. This would bring the fan/wind noise to nearly in audible. But you'll still hear some bearing-rumble, if you listen carefully.

This MUST be a joke:

PC Power and Cooling silencer 610W PSU

Remember that placebo's can play some interference with your own judging.

That's why hard numbers are the finest!

Hmm...please leave your "Silent" out of your topic-header.

My system has less noisy, in both number and quality of the fans.
I can still hear my system - it doesn't get inaudible, neither does yours.

Blabla.

Sorry but I guess the construction of your Tuniq Tower is all to blame for the results.
On my Ninja (little to no airresistance) temps improved moving from an scythe to a Noctua (both @5v)
The tuniq Tower is probably one of the worst performers when it comes to low-airflow.

lol - 24 CFM is pushed almost inaudible <18dB(A) by the 120mm-fans:P

I want to have those fans, just so f@#$%&g awesome:
Spinning like hell (it might as well create a disturbance in the gravityfield:P) and no airfLOW

Hmm you might as well feed it no more than 5v.

when using at higher voltage:

AHHHHHHHHHHH THE NOOISE AAAGOOONYY!!

Isn't this a bit overkill....

I guess for ub0r-diehard overclockers it's not.. But I guess a bit of flow from a inaudible fan is more than enough for the MOSFET's.

Maybe I thought wrong

I've got an DFS1225L12 here which is mounted horizontally - not ideal, ok. It runs at 5v. It starts at 5v - Altough there was one time when it didn't start, strangely enough. I don't really need it anyway, so no problem. So reliable start at 5v.... 99% yes, 1 % no Hope it helps someone who cares :wi...

[quote="davidstone28"]Do curves not exist within Antec Towers?[/quote]

Who needs curves?

Are you such a pussy when hurting your knee at a pointy table you cry for fagging hours just like Peter from Family Guy

Since I did RMA with my first whining fan, I got one which is effectively inaudible. No weird noises. It is possible that there is some samples variance in the Noctua's. My second fan had a paler color beige then my defective one. Also - The Tri-Cool maybe good for a Stock-fan, but for the sake of g...

That is the stuff!

I have no need for it (now) though.
But I sent them a mail with ideas for HS's.

I guess this was just a logical step. It remains to be seen if it's ever getting on the market.

Hi people,

I think these manufacturers need to be praised for trying to be as truthful as possible in the faint world of marketing:
Nexus, Scythe, Seasonic and Aerocase (Thermalright too?)

Hanze Technical Institute,
Study: Mechanical Engineering

P.S. See? Dutch people rule!

Sorry there's no deeplink possible. On the site index under "VGA Cooler"

Freaking sweet.

lol - that's indeed pretty weird.

That is f**king promising...but shit - what the hell better than diamond

Well actually some revolution is going on. Still sweet years to come

Not that I adore Silent Mike as much as some around this forum I wonder what he's using. Probably foam or so

To MikeC himself: Sorry, but I'm going to take over the world - then I of course can't adore anyone

Hmm lol..

I guess I'm not into replacing my MX518 for a trackman -- yet --

I agree, the Scythe DFS-series that's included is pretty good at 5v. The only thing you'll hear from very close is some bearing-rattle. But that fades away in only let's say 30~40cm (a bit more than a foot) Really nice fan. I use it too, didn't want to replace it - as it allready replaced my Papst 4...
